| DIY Speakers, worth the hassles? DIY is the only way to go in speakers!!! Even if you have someone else to everything, you still save 70% over retail. And if you have any kind of skill with a screwdriver or soldering iron, you can save 90% over retail.Start simple and use premium... | |
| Why do DIY products have less value ? It's all marketing!!! And everyone buys into it!Everything costs money. Onhwy61 listed a lot of things that are considerations with a purchase. They all cost. With DIY, you fix it yourself. Knowledge is everything.Remember, most audio companies we... | |
| Another UPS oops thread I've had nothing but good luck with Fedex, mostly air. After the other day at UPS, never again. And all those tales from Brain just confirm that decision.Nothing is perfect and humans are humans, but some companies just do a better job. | |
| Another UPS oops thread I at least got an answer from customer service email stating that COD returns come USPS and take at least 10 days. Of course my UPS address is different from USPS (PO Box), so it'll be long and drawn out. At least it's not a great deal of money.FE... | |
| Acoustic-Reality Thanks Key_metric. I've read a little of Ehider's posts, and was wondering if there were others out there. I was also wondering if the eAR amp was similar to the new PS Audio amp. Also, thanks to Eantala.More web wandering | |
| Help Bat VK60 owners...lost a channel... My experience with blown fuses on my VK-60 is that the blown fuse indicates a bad, or going bad, tube. Be prepared for it to happen again, and keep a supply of fuses handy. | |
| what does "Air or a Halo around instruments" mean? Moving air is what music is!Most music reproduction systems tend to lose much of the "moving air" that is the music. The dynamics and clarity of live music just vanish. Ever listen to your system after coming home from the symphony??!! Does it sou... | |
| what does "Air or a Halo around instruments" mean? Last Saturday I went to the symphony. I heard Beethoven. I did not hear any air around any of the instruments in the orchestra, nor around the piano playing the piano concerto.And 3 weeks ago I went to a 3 day folk music festival with all music pl... | |
| BAT 3i or AR LS-7?????? The synergy between VK60 and VK3i is much better than between VK60 and LS7. A few years back I went from ARC LS-3 to VK3i feeling much as you do now in regards to the difference. But once I made the change the music was much nicer. The ability to ... | |

| Speakers for Classical Music It really does not matter if it's 2-way or 3-way. It's all in how it is done and the music that comes out. Some times it is really hard to get a really good match with a subwoofer. However REL can supposedly match anything. In the end it all comes... | |
| A quick question? I used to have a cj11a and there was some hum. It's nothing to worry about. If you can't hear it from where you sit, why worry. I got rid of the hum when I got a new amp - BAT, and no hum.Steve | |
| Speakers for Classical Music This is a topic that I have spent a long time with in the course of listening through the years. A good rendition of classical music is likely the hardest thing for a music system to reproduce. Just go to a symphony concert and then go home and li... | |
| What are the best tubes to use with the BAT VK75SE When you get around to retubing the 6V6 & 6SN7's I would highly recommend Upscale Audio. I just retubed my VK-60 and got the 6SN7's from Upscale and they are just fantastic! |
